SLITTING OF MICRO-ENCAPSULATED MEDIA

摘要

A continuous finishing operation that utilizes a method of slitting microencapsulation imaging media entails irradiating microencapsulated imaging media with a light sensitive side forming a first polymerization pattern. The light sensitive side comprises an emulsion with capsules containing leuco forming dyes suspended in a matrix containing developer. A frequency of visible energy is applied to the capsules to polymerize the capsules into the first polymerization pattern. The media is then slit among the first polymerization pattern. The media is irradiated a second time forming a second pattern and is slit forming a borderless print of a desired size.
